I’ve always wanted one but I believe they’re coupled at the Tote with Landrover Defensers in the driveability steaks!

cabin space is much better than and defender, and thereby more comfy

I drive a G63 fairly regularly.

The novelty wears off fairly quickly I must say, feeling the entire chassis twist when you put you foot down is funny the first time, the torque steer is funny the first time too.

Both of which become tiring after a while.

Interior space is also very compromised, a massive boot but very poor rear seat legroom.

power depends on what spec you get. in terms of capabilities, the older models have hydraulic front, rear and centre diff lock

The newer ones are way overpriced and the older ones are donkeys as I understand it.

After my recent headache with a Defender I am now over car drama
